I don't like it, but hey, it's EU tradition. Darth Maul is just one among many, like: Palpatine, Boba Fett, Durge, Ventress, etc... If people accepted all of them, why not accept Maul? If they didn't, then why even care?

"The decision to continue Darth Maul's story was something that came directly from George, and we all agreed that his return needed to be unique, unexpected and revenge filled. We don't know what his outcome will be, and as a fan -- that's exciting."

That's funny because Lucas specifically stated he had him cut in half in order to make sure fans couldn't find a way to bring him back. That still didn't stop fans and it looks like it now didn't stop George.

I don't see what the problem is... it's just more EU stuff... even if it did "come from George" my strict interpretation of Star Wars canon is if it's not in the 6 movies, it's not canon... therefore I'd only ever really get uppity over stuff that goes on with the 6 movies.

Clone Wars is Clone Wars, just a fun little side trip for folks who like Saturday morning toons, no biggie.

I have a similar structure. Everything out of the 6 movies is secondary canon, where I can pick which stories belong to my personal canon.

Though I agree with both Lynk and Alexrd (I do something similar to you), doesn't change the fact its a monumentally crap idea. I'm not going to get stressy or anything over it, but still think its a bad idea.

I would be fine with crap retcons if they didn't affect future merchandise. It's entropy at work!
What's next? Malak in a jar in ToR?
Palpatine fighting Cade Skywalker?
Ahsoka as Anakin's illegitimate half-sister?
Where will the line be drawn?

Sadly I can actually see GL giving the okay for those so long as there is credits - err money to be made

The shaft Luke fell down was more conical and had a sort of protective wind tunnel.
Also, George wants more Maul toys to sell. It will be the jewel of his TCW collection. Unfortunately fans are too weak to reject buying it and exerting their market power. Just like the new Blu-Ray releases.
